GARMENT HANGER.

Application led October 21, 1.926. Serial No. 143,172.

' The invention relates to a device used for hanging garments, and has for. its principal object the provision of a garment hanger that is reasonable incost of manufacture being made out of a single strand of wire bent to form the hanger, and provided with a coat supporting member, integral'upstanding hooks to engage loops on waistbands of neither garments forl holding them suspended, and a cross bar that forms a brace and also a suspending means for garments that may be hung thereover.

A further object of the invention is the provision of a garment hanger made of a single strand of wire having its ends twisted together, one of the ends being extended andA bent to form a hook for hanging the garment hanger on any desired support, the open frame provided by the twisted ends being formed with outstanding and downward-v ly extending portions over which the upper garments, such as a coat and vest may be hung, the frame bent under the outstanding and downwardly extending portions to Jform upstanding hooks adapted to lengage belt y loops of nether garments, and the hooks connected at their inner ends by means of a cross bar that serves as a brace and also means for suspending the garment.

The invention will be described in detail hereinafter and will be found illustrated in thel accompanying drawing, in which l Figure l is a side view in elevation of the improved garment hanger, and

Figure 2, a longitudinal sectional view on a plane indicated by the line 2 -2 of Figure 1.

In the drawing similar reference characters will be used to designate corresponding'A parts in both views.

Thegarment hanger is formed of a single strand of wire of suflicent gauge to make a rigid structure, thev wire being twisted as shown at' 1 to join the ends of the wire together, one end ofthe wire being extended and bent to form a hook 2 forsuspending the lgarment hanger from a suitable sup-port. The two ends of the Wire are bent outwardly and downwardly as shown at 3 toform a suspending means to beinserted in a coat and vest or the like to suspend them on the hangf er. The portions of the wire frame at the ends of the part 3 are bent upwardly and inwardly under the part 3 as shown at a and then returned as shown at 5 to formoelongated, upwardly and inwardly inclined hooks 6, said hooks being1 adapted to engage in the belt loops of a nether garment such as a pair or: trousers shown in broken lines at A in Flgure 1, the belt loops being designated B. rIhe remainder of the frame forms a cross bar 7 connecting the lower, ends of the re-l turned portions 5, -said cross bar forming a brace to Staden the hanger, and is also adapt# ed to be used for suspending agar-ment by hanging it' thereover.

It will be apparent that the'article is adaptable for domestic use for hanging garments, but is particularly adaptable forvuse byv dealers 1n clothing, and tailors, and clothes cleaners, as by providing the hooks 6 to suspend trousers by the belt loops, folding of the trousers over a cross bar such as is now practiced is avoided, and the disadvantages incident thereto, that is that the trousers will i be creased Where hung over the cross bar and are liable to slip therefrom when being carried for delivery, are avoided.

It will also be apparent that the hooks 6, Y

by being elongated and upwardly and inwardly inclined, are adapted to hold trousers waistbands of varying lengths, the belt loops on wide trousers sliding down on the hooks until the waist band isfully extended, thus,

spreading'- wrinkling. f

What is claimed is A garment hanger formed of a single the trousers and preventing strand of wire and provided with a cross bar intermediate of its ends, the wire at each end of the cross bar, having inwardly and upwardly reentrantportions rebentto form inwardly directed and upwardly inclined hooks for engagement with trousers loops,

the wire atv the ends of said hooks rebent to form coat supporting portions, and the ends of the Wire joined and formed with a suspending hook.

In testimony whereofl I `aflx my signai ture.
